In Montgomery County, Maryland, hardly a hotbed for conservatism with party registration rates of Democrats to Republicans being a 3-to-1 ratio, Democrats are blaming rising hateful rhetoric on the election of Donald Trump to the White House.

Democratic and liberal leaders blame two high school incidents on Trump supporters, but the Republicans counter and point out that the only reported act of violence in that Maryland county was when high schoolers beat up a Trump-hat-wearing student.
